The JVC can also use SD or CF (it has slots for both) in place of a Hard Drive, so they really are in the same group when it comes to non-tape storage. The JVC may also offer HD as storage medium, but does that really matter when you are claiming to be the first non-tape?
Except that the numbers are the other way around. They are of ipod owners (current pc users) who purchased a mac [or plan to] AFTER buying the ipod. The percentage of mac owners bo purchased an ipod second is in addition to the 6% and 7% mentioned. That is why it's a big deal. Remember also that the 7% is of those who plan a purchase in the next 12 months. That says nothing of those who plan to purchase in the next 12-24 months which is most of the people i know. Apples price point is high for many, but there are those who are willing to plan and save to make it happen.
You are also mistaken that apples sells more computers than ipods. They shipped 2 million ipods in 4q and only 836k cpu's. I would also expect the number of ipods shipped to double or tripple for the 1st quarter. At that rate (15 million ipods a year) 7% turns into a million new cpu sales to those who previously were pc users. I know i'm reading into it and guessing but it's what I think will happen.
Another really good tool for stress testing web apps is Microsofts Web Application Stress Tool. It allows you to configure testing for a set of different virtual users, and also supports https, stores cookies if you want, etc. An all round good featured tool. One of the best features for testing a load ballanced app is it's ability to seamlessly distribute the testing load across multiple client machines, thus really providing a realistic load.
I agree with you [to some extent] I believe that if we (americans) do value freedom and democracy as much as we say we do, we should be willing and open and have offered the oportuity to many countries to become states of the union. I know we have been used to having 50 states, but there is no reason as far as I can tell not to expand that and include *countries* like guam, etc...
oops... that article talks only about partial use in 2002, This one talkes about full use in 2004. It also seems Georgia followed suit. So much for being the only idiots come november 3rd.
Somehow I wish the wave of the future wasn't here now, but for me it is. My state (maryland) happens to be the only state to fully adopt Touchscreen Voting for this year.
I think you might have missed the denomination on yahoos query numbers. They said 250 Billion queries every 45 days... That is a bit different than comparing with 250 million.
So by what you said, it would take a Thousand of your dual Xeons to handle the same load with PostgreSQL (5M * 45days * 1000servers) = 225B compared with your 225M now. This of course assumes your servers are already at capacity and a few other things, and it just goes by your insert numbers... but anyway you get the idea.
Forget the iMac (not to say that it isn't great.. just that it isnt needed). iTunes runs perfectly from a windows pc, and it IS the jukebox... the fact that it streams to an airtunes device by your stereo is just a bonus. Why would you need a messy perl script to control the jukebox remotely when you can just have the pc be the jukebox and your folks can live with the ease-of-use that apple brings.
Just to say.. I agree, the Brenthaven backpack I have is just awesome. It does well as a normal backpack, and I love that it isn't plastered with logos and is just a plain backpack (we joke that it looks like a parachute bag.. but anyway). The apple cobranded versions really are not apple branded, they just fit the powerbooks perfectly.
It is more than your range, but if protecting your laptop is worth it, then it's worth it.
. The latest machines will also include some pretty cool encryption software, that will keep your hard disk safe, but still let you backup and restore images.
How is this different than apples FileVault feature in OSX which uses 128bit AES encription on your home directory?
I have a powerbook and I must say that the FileVault works beautifully (and seamlessly)
It used to be Microsoft copying Apple, but I guess IBM can do it to. Granted my powerbook doesn't use a fingerprint as the encryption key.. but still.
It was fairly easy. In theory it can *read* a dhcp lease file from another dhcp server (yes it would notice changes) and serve up dns responces baseed on that file; however in practice I found it easier to use the build in dns server [I don't actually remember what problem i was having] ( as long as you only need a caching server and don't care about running a real dns server).

If you had your linux box; it sounds like you would want dnsmasq
" It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP for network booting of diskless machines."
I have used it more than once and been quite happy. I believe it even comes with some of the firewall distros like ipcop, but I had to add it to a mandrake 10 box.
Take the above with just as large a grain of salt. horos2c tossed out a large quantity of numbers as if they were common knowledge, or you could easily come up with them, but didn't quote any sources. Thanks for giving us nothing reliable to support your argument (or refute the original sites arguments). You also used alot of percentages which you *assume* are correct.
Were do you come up with 70% of wind is over water?
Since when can we only convert 60% of available energy into electricity?
Don't get me wrong, it sounds good and all, but to be honest, I don't believe you
lol... yeah except that isn't me:o) It's kevin my roommate
It is a good example though of how nice it is to have a camera with you at all times because some things (like that photo) are just funny! And yes, that was the first photo I took with the camera
Who exactly did you send that to? I would like to send them a letter as well. It might help them think twice, and possibly get them to fix a few wrongs.
It's more like shipping a computer on which you can't install a mail reader. And oh by the way, you have to use our ISP as well. Oh, and you have to use our printer if you want those pictures too.
Simple put, they have the most to gain. Perhaphs you should read this blog about how google probably will move into areas that give them a) more eyes to show context relevant ads or [more importantly] b) move into areas that give them insight into what people are interested (IM's would be relevant here) or areas that give them information on where and what we spend out money (this includes being a go-between for the client and a merchant, or merchant and bank).
So you see... with googles software expertiese in making things easy to use, (and simple at the same time) they could make people *want* to switch to their IM client, while gaining valuable insight at the same time
It's all about driving the add revenue, and for google that means giving more relevant ads (which advertisers pay more for).

How is JVC first when i spotted my eye on this 4MP Sanyo several months ago! (it was RELEASED on september 10th!)
I'm always suspicious of companies that claim 'first' status. Are there any other companies which beat JVC out the door on this?

It does... (sort of).
Just so happens that the cache in this case wasn't quick enough.

I agree It doesn't mean that much to have the domain registered.
However I do find it interesting when they registered gbrowser.com
vs gmail.com

yeah, and why can't I use quicktime or iTunes on my windows machine?
oh..... wait
nevermind
no... he cleans up after someone else kills the animals. It might not make a difference to you, but it is different.
unplugging?
Last I checked that was still hacker proof!
hopefully this will help filter out bogus research by opening it up to more eyes.

It's not only the bluetooth support that is lacking. The colors in the camera are really bad to!
oh... and you can use iSync with the usb cable, just not over bluetooth
